I absolutely love this time of year because simply, every store has a sale! Right now, when it's the middle of the summer, stores tend to have further reductions so they can bring in the new Fall/Winter collections. Some people believe that sales are sales, and there will always be sales every year, but when it comes to something that you've been eye-ing the whole season and could never get the urge to actually take action and purchase it, maybe now is the perfect time!

Proenza Schouler Fall 2011 Trunk Show @ The Bay

I really do apologize for the lack of blog posts lately-I've been extremely occupied finishing my last two courses before I graduate from University.

So a little while ago, I went to the Proenza Schouler Fall 2011 Trunk Show event at The Room at The Bay. I was extremely excited as the designers will be present as well, but unfortunately I missed out on the special gala the night before, and opted to only take pictures of the stunning F/W 2011 RTW and accessories offered by the coveted designer brand the day after. Better than nothing, right? Of course!
